2006 Senate Bill 6613 (Banning internet gambling)
Effective date 6/7/2006
This bill, which was signed into law March 28, 2006 by Gov. Christine Gregoire, makes all internet transations where someone can knowingly transmit or receive wagers or any other form of gambling illegal. The penalty for gambling online starting on June 7th is a Class C Felony which is up to 10 years in prison or a $10,000 fine.
How in the world did that happen? How is this going to be enforced?

And then there are Washington's licensed card clubs. As the Commission stated, in its Focus on Gambling Newsletter, "Some card room operators asked that we help get the word out that gambling over the Internet is illegal."
thats not-so-subtle. I suspect that tribes are also backing this, despite claims that the law was in response partly to concerns over Indian Casinos.
It'll be enforced on the receive side -- they can shut down gambling websites in WA
I bet he would have won if young gamblers who vote knew what they do now.
